Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
quite smoky and rubbery at first nosing, with some burnt cake, breadcrumb, caramel… Some nice flowery notes (heather) and quite a lot of honeyed notes. Gets a little grassy after a moment, while some nice hints of fresh fruits (apple, gooseberry, peach) appear. Nicely balanced and most enjoyable
restaurant Palate
very nice attack on honey and fruit jam (apricot, quince). Herbal tea, Christmas cake… Some liquorice too. It’s got quite some oomph and I like the notes of dried herbs from Provence (thyme, rosemary). The finish is medium long but nicely honeyed and spicy. A very good oldie! 84 points . Balvenie 10 yo Founder’s Reserve (43%, OB, 1980's) This one is just the variant at 43%, and was a French import
